Until We Meet Again

Chapter 10

Harry was leaning against the wall. As he saw me in my car, I saw he had a worried expression. But he then gave a sigh of relief. Alright, what is going on here?

I parked my car in front of my house, and went out. He came towards me and held my arms on both sides. "Omg, Rosaline are you okay?" He asked with a worried glance. I raised one eyebrow at him.

"Umm...yeah. I'm fine." I said, still confused. "Omg thank God you are here. Your family was looking for you." He said.

Why would they be looking for me? They would've at least called Claires house to check if I was there.

"Rosaline omg! Mom! Dad! She's here!" I heard Shays voice and before I knew it someone was hugging me so tight. She let go and I gave her a confused look.

"Wait...what's wrong? Why are you guys so worried?" I finally asked. They looked at me weirdly before Shay spoke. "What do you mean why we are worried? There was a bomb yesterday and you didn't come home nor answered any of my calls or texts. We tried calling Claires house but noone answered." She said.

I looked at her blankly. There was a bomb yesterday? How did I not know about this? Claires parents didn't even said anything about a bomb happening. They must've not known too. "Umm...." I only managed to say that.

"Oh my God Rosaline!" I heard my mom said. She came over to me and hugged me so tightly, with dad standing right beside us. I saw that her face was pale, but almost changing back to its normal color. I could see tear stains from her cheeks and also from my dads shirt.

"I'm fine guys, really. Sorry you had to worry." I reassured them.

My mom let go of me and gave a smile. I smiled back at her and watched her and dad go back inside the house. "We need to tell the police we've found you." My dad said.

I watched them go back inside and turned to see Harry still there standing awkwardly. I guess he caught me staring so he looked at me and smiled. Then he went closer to stand in front of me.

"Oh umm...I'll be in the house if you need me okay?" Shay asked. I nearly forgot she was there. "Huh? Oh umm yeah sure." I told her back.

I returned back to his gaze and my eyes seemed to get hypnotized by his eyes. But I finally said, "So.... umm...how did you find out that I was missing?"

"The siren of the police car is pretty loud. I saw Shay but you weren't there, so I asked her what's wrong."

"Oh...I see." I said. Suddenly I felt a vibration in my pockets. "Hold on." I quickly grabbed my phone to check who it was. Claire. I quickly answered it.

"Oh thank God you're alive." She gave a sigh of relief. "I just found out there was a bomb yesterday. I feel so stupid for not knowing. And we were walking around town as if nothing happened."

I just laughed at her. "Yeah...just found out there was a bomb too. Whole family freaking out right now. They called a police for goodness sake."

"Of course they did. Hahaha. Oh well need to go. See you tomorrow?" She said.

"Yeah of course. Duh. It's school tomorrow. What kind of question is that?" I said with a laugh.

I could hear her laugh back through the phone and said,"Oh yeah hahaha. Ok bye see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah okay." I put my phone back in my pocket and turned back to Harry. He was just standing in front of me still smiling.

"So, umm....do you want to go inside?" I asked in a friendly tone. "I would love to. But I need to get back home. Have a lot to do." He said.

I started wondering what important things he need to do, but quickly shrug it off. "Oh..okay. So, see you at school then?" I asked.

"Yeah sure." He said. But then his eyes looked like he just realized something. "Oh umm..."

I looked to him and asked,"what?"

"N-nothing." He said back and looked back to me with a small smile. "So umm...I think I should go back now, knowing you're safe and all." He said.

"Umm yeah I guess. Sorry for all the fuss, but thank you." I said.

"I'm just glad you're safe. My mom is probably looking for me right now. So, see you at school Rosaline." He said while giving a wave before heading towards his house. I watched him walk so casually back to his house and going inside.

I soon went back inside my house and went to the living room to see Shay sitting on the sofa with a smirk on her face. "What?" I asked.

"You love him don't you?" She asked. I felt a little taken back by her question. I looked down and I could feel my face getting red. Do I love him I don't know. Maybe it's just a crush.

"L-love is a strong word. He is just a friend, Shay." I said.

"Uhhuh. You know there is a window right? I saw the way you both look at each other with those googly eyes of yours. It's pretty obvious he loves you too." She said with a giggle.

I giggled with her. "I only see him as a friend Shay. Nothing more." I said to her. Not sure if that is actually my answer.

"Ummhmm. Well, he is pretty hot. Maybe if me and Brad break up, I should be with him. Don't tell Brad that though." She said. I quickly gasped at her words when I heard Harry's name.

"No. What are you thinking? Besides, I know that you and Brad love each other too much for that. Why would you break up?" I said.

She laughed a pretty loud laugh. "See? Just admit it sis. You are in love with him."

"N-no I'm not." I told her back

"Uhhuh. We will see soon. I'm just kidding about the breaking up thing though. Harry isn't exactly my type." I felt a sigh of relief on me for some reason when she said that. "But maybe someday I might somehow date him."

Suddenly I felt that feeling again. I don't know how to describe it. Was it worry? Sad? Anger?

She giggled. "See what I mean?"
